“I am alone, and miserable; man will not associate with me, but one as deformed and horrible as myself would not deny herself to me.” (171)
The Animated movie, Shrek parallels this quote of Shelly's. When the "ugly" ogre sees himself in the mirror, he wonders how a creature as beautiful as Fiona would ever be able to love him. Fiona, however, sees Shrek the same way, wondering if he could ever see beauty in her. What they both overlook is their own beauty, and the fact that they are looking at the same type of creature as themselves, just in a completely different light.
Shrek, 2001, DreamWorks Animation
